The Rose of the Red Chamber

Chapter 161

"People have raised sheep into wolves, and you have raised wolves into sheep. How can this be achieved? If you fall behind, you will be beaten. If you want to be effective, you must often pull the team out for exercises. It is a donkey or a horse. Pull it out from time to time and show your fists to intimidate your neighbors, instead of letting your neighbors only see your own wealth and be greedy. We have too much, and people will be jealous and want to rob. , Many things, we can't make a step forward, and we can't retreat a step."

Tanchun felt that in Huaxia's thousands of years of history, what was missing was this wolfishness.He talks about the state of etiquette every day, and then he always fights with his own family in one way or another, and finally let outsiders harass him at the gate of the country every day.Some even called home.

The combat effectiveness of the army becomes weaker and weaker as the peace lasts longer.And because they have nothing to do, they all develop bad habits.

"In addition to imitating our neighbors from time to time and going to them to harvest bone grass, we also need to increase the intensity and methods of daily drills of our soldiers. Raise a soldier for a thousand days, use a soldier for a while. All soldiers should not only drill for half a day, or only for a short time. Take a break after practicing for half a day. Once people are free, they will have nothing to do, and then they will develop some bad habits.

Most of our soldiers in the north are infantry, so we should let them run around the county town twice every morning, and then go back to the camp to have breakfast. After breakfast, go to the training ground as you showed us last time Swing a gun and stick a stick.After lunch, take another hour's rest, and then go to open up wasteland and farm.

Instead of chasing after the asses of those big masters in the household department every day for military pay and food, it is better to develop a way out for yourself.If you plant a field by yourself, even if the army rations cannot arrive for a while, you will not be hungry.If there is too much food, it can be distributed to each soldier according to their merits as a welfare.Grow food and vegetables by yourself, and then raise pigs and chickens and ducks. Isn’t that all the food?And the spoils obtained from beating the bone grass can be used as rewards.Why not do it? "

Tanchun looked at the few people in front of him without speaking, only staring at himself in a daze, "Did I say something wrong?"

The four nodded in unison, then shook their heads in unison.

That's right, it's just that it's too outrageous to say this from a girl like you. I know that you are not an ordinary girl who only knows how to embroider, but I don't know that you are such a girl.

"You're right, it's just that there has never been a precedent for such a thing in the camp."

"At the beginning, human beings didn't know how to weave, and everyone just lived in a piece of animal skin." Before that, they didn't even wear clothes. "There is also kindling. Humans are not born to light a fire and eat cooked food. There is always a first step in everything. Fanren gave us a good look, so there is no reason for us not to learn. Say every day that we are heaven. It's a state of etiquette, so no one would think of letting people beat bone grass instead of hitting back? Don't talk about me, a woman. I can't stand it anymore. Men don't have any blood? Let people bully you to the door , if you don’t call back, will it be a bear in the den?”

Looking at the way Tanchun was talking, none of the group of people talked about the bone grass, but turned the topic to self-sufficiency.

Really, the girl who is about to be a military commander can't be so aggressive.

"When I was here before, I often heard my father and uncle talk about how long the court has not distributed food and salaries. The soldiers below have no rice to eat. If it is really like what my sister said, I will be self-sufficient in the future Self-sufficiency, no matter how late the court's food and salary is, I don't have to worry about it."

Boss Jiang thought about Tanchun's words carefully, and felt that it was not unreasonable.It's just that such a thing, will it be taken for granted?

Tanchun picked some of the cooked vegetables in the hot pot for several people respectively, "How should I put it, the food and salaries of the court have to be reminded regularly, and it's not my sister who said that if the soldiers are self-sufficient in the frontier, the court will Only those who have to worry about and pay attention to, dare not refuse to pay, especially the people in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households.

Once this incident set a precedent, or made people in the barracks think of it, it would be difficult for the court to put an end to it even if it wanted to.Although it's a bit harder, but you can eat enough and eat well, who doesn't want to live a good life.

And if you think about it, whoever eats the food, you will work for that family.When people don't lack anything, it's easy to have other thoughts.In order to win over these soldiers, the imperial court will not allow anyone to deduct the soldiers' pay.Unless they want to force others to mutiny. "

Jiang Laoer thought for a while, then frowned and asked, "Or the court did not allow the frontier army to be self-sufficient, but also withheld food and pay?" This is not impossible.

Tanchun chuckled, "What's the matter, just lead someone back."

"Cough, cough, cough."

"Pfft."

When several people heard Tanchun's words, she was shocked.

Is this still a girl?The words of rebellion are more slippery than what these men say.

"Sister, you can take it easy when you say this, if people hear you, we are all in your nine tribes." Zhao Huan coughed, his face flushed, he managed to catch his breath, and said very angrily.

Tan Chun glanced at him, "I sent all the servants away, and Wang Cai is still watching at the door."

Really think she is so stupid that she has no taboos.

"Okay, okay, my sister is just talking, is it possible that my sister can really incite others to rebel?" Looking at the eyes of several people, Tanchun said angrily, "Let's not talk about it, how big is the rebellion?" If you want to do something, it's about killing people, killing people, and going to the [-]th level of hell after death. If you don't force yourself, who has the patience to do such a complicated thing?

My sister just thinks that the current world is extremely unfair to generals.Literati live in temples every day, protected from wind and rain, and when their mouths touch each other, they come up with some bad ideas. "

Sister, she only wants to usurp the throne peacefully, not to rebel against that kind of bloody thing.

Liu Xianglian couldn't see Tanchun's unreasonable look of "I'm very reasonable, I'm very reasonable" the most, and she liked it very much, so she picked up a chopstick dish for Tanchun, poured her a cup of tea, and gently Holding Tanchun's hand carefully, his eyes are full of love.

Zhao Huan and the Jiang family twins looked at each other. They both sighed at this brother-in-law who looked normal and smart, but was actually very careless inside.

Fortunately, my sister is a woman, and she is already getting married.Otherwise, they have something to worry about.The brother-in-law's family has a simple population, even if the elder sister dominates the Liu family, they are brothers and they don't worry about her playing off.

"When we enter the court in the future, we won't be like those people. The atmosphere in the court will always change."

"This kind of atmosphere can't be changed overnight. By the way, Huan'er, tomorrow you can write a proposal on this matter, ask your brother-in-law to copy it twice, hand it to General Liu once, and write it into a letter for others." Hurry up and send it to the capital for Chang Tuo."

Tanchun thought about it, and felt that he had come up with a good idea, and if it was for nothing, it would be for nothing, so it's better to use it.It would be good if Liu Xianglian could benefit.

I gave the proposal to General Liu in the hope that he could actually do it.Giving the other share to Chang Tuo is to hope that if this matter is really credited, it will not bury Liu Xianglian's role in it.

Of course, even if it is not credit, the soldiers on the frontier can benefit, and Tanchun feels it is worth it.

These soldiers, apart from generations of military backgrounds, are all children of peasant families.It should be possible to raise pigs and farm land.

Tanchun knows that he may be a modern person, so he has a natural protective mentality towards soldiers.But I have to say that people in this era make Tanchun feel very careless.

When conquering the world, make full use of those soldiers.When the world was firmly established, it began to restrain the strength of the army, and then began to emphasize civility over military affairs.

What is this all about.

So, throughout the ages, she has liked Ming Tai Zu the most.That person has a likable aura all over his body.

Uh, of course, the vision of choosing the heir in the end, and the things he did for the heir, are somewhat criticized.

However, the flaws do not conceal the virtues.

"Sister, I actually prefer to beat the bone grass. As long as I think of riding a horse to go there, I will grab it and make troubles, so I won't be too excited."

Tanchun nodded, "Yes, the mutton we ate today was raised by those people. Look how good the quality of the meat is? How can you say that there is nothing to rob. Even if there is nothing to rob, let's rob people.

The men snatch it and let them open up wasteland and farm, and the women, snatch it to be their daughter-in-law.Look at the soldiers in the camp, none of them has a wife. "

When Zhao Huan heard Tanchun's words, he covered his face, "Sister, you are still a girl." Brother-in-law is sitting next to you, so you don't know what to do when you say this.

Tanchun rubbed his nose, then smiled embarrassedly, "I mean it's easy to say. Marriage or something, you still have to pay attention to your love and my willingness. If the snatched daughter-in-law is not happy, she will sleep until midnight and go in with a knife. , the red knife comes out, that's scary."

Liu Xianglian: "..." Fortunately, his daughter-in-law was sincerely willing to marry him, and did not go for a kiss.

Zhao Huan: "..." Sister, can't you consider him, who is already engaged?

The Jiang family twins, "...there is a feeling that they dare not marry a wife."

Seeing a few people like this, and hearing what his younger brother said, Tanchun was also a little embarrassed.

......

The next day, Liu Xianglian took Huan'er Zhuubi's proposal to see General Liu, and General Liu thought it was a good idea after reading it.So when asking for credit for Liu Xianglian, he wrote this idea in the memorial to Beijing.

Correspondence always takes some time, and the things Tanchun said need to be discussed by those people.

In the twelfth lunar month, the imperial edict came from the capital.

The decree is very long and has a lot of content.However, there are only two things that Tanchun cares about.

One is that Liu Xianglian was promoted from the third-rank guerrilla future, and returned to Xishan Daying to work after a year.One is the self-sufficiency of the frontier army.

The imperial court allowed the frontier army to be self-sufficient, but controlled the number of acres of wasteland land.

But that's not bad.

"Why is there no mention of bone grass in the imperial decree?"

Jiang Laoer asked his brother and sister a little dissatisfied.

Zhao Huan patted him on the head, "General Liu is not crazy, so he would not write the matter of breaking the bone grass in the memorial to ask for instructions. And the emperor does not want to drive those literati crazy, so he will not make a decree. Look at that Didn’t the imperial decree say to strengthen the resilience and training methods of the frontier troops?”

General Liu didn't write in the memorial that he wanted to fight against the bone grass, but he brought it out between the lines.Emperor Qingfeng was overjoyed when he saw it, and after thinking about it, he also said this sentence suggestively, and said that he could do things cheaply.

Those foreign countries always disturb the border towns, and the wind and water take turns, and it will always be their turn.

Emperor Qingfeng didn't ask General Liu to really destroy Fanbang, as long as there was nothing to do, don't stare at the door of their house every day.

General Liu accepted the imperial edict, which was a joy.There were also some rewards that came with the imperial decree. After General Liu distributed them according to the list, all the senior military officers of the general were called over.

"Winter is here, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. General Ben thought about taking the soldiers out for training recently. If he picked up some cattle and sheep on the way, he could have a good New Year."

When Liu Xianglian heard this, she was the first to stand up and agree, "The general said so." My daughter-in-law always likes to eat the mutton hotpot over there.

The others had heard General Liu talk about the bone grass for a long time, but they were afraid of being discovered by the supervisory censor in the court and would sue him again, so they have been waiting for the imperial edict.Now that the imperial decree has come down, it is also said that this is to train soldiers' combat ability and adaptability, so there is nothing to say.

Gone are the days of being beaten into bone grass, and now they have to use their fists to tell their neighbors that new rules have been introduced.

So this year, under the command of General Liu, Liu Xianglian rushed to Fanbang's house and beat the bone grass.

According to the distribution of merit, the spoils Liu Xianglian got were enough for the Tanchun siblings to eat until February [-], when they set off to return to the capital, and there was still leftovers.

"I don't know if I'll have a chance to come here again this time when I go back to the capital." Tanchun stood outside the small courtyard of Jiang's family, walking out, turning his head and said reluctantly.

After staying here for a few months, I feel that my temper has become wild.
